Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of deburring equipment technology, and in particular to an automated deburring equipment for batch production of columnar parts. Background Technology

[0002] Burrs may remain after the machining process of parts. Currently, in production, for continuously machined cylindrical parts of the same specification, there are situations where burrs remain on one end of the part and need to be removed. For example, a part is a concave cylindrical fitting, and there are many burrs on the oblique hole area inside the groove on its cylindrical end face. For such cases where one end face of a continuously produced cylindrical part of the same specification needs to be deburred, since the operation is relatively simple, it is usually done manually on a piece-by-piece basis.

[0003] However, as the production cycle speeds up, the labor intensity of manual operations increases, and the efficiency of manual deburring cannot meet the production capacity requirements. Furthermore, it cannot guarantee the consistency of deburring quality for parts, and there may be instances where certain parts are not deburred. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides a batch automated deburring equipment for columnar parts, thereby realizing the batch automated deburring of columnar parts of the same specification that need to be deburred in a single end face direction, improving the deburring efficiency, and ensuring the quality of deburring and the consistency of deburring quality of different parts.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automated deburring device for batch production of columnar parts includes a multi-station deburring unit, wherein the multi-station deburring unit comprises:

[0007] A dust cover, wherein the side of the dust cover is provided with an inlet and outlet;

[0008] The first stage is used to simultaneously support N parts. One end of each part is a support and the other end is a deburring part. The first stage is provided with a first positioning structure that matches the shape of the support, which is used to arrange the deburring parts of the N parts upward along a horizontal straight line at intervals, where N≥2.

[0009] The first linear drive mechanism is fixedly disposed relative to the dust cover, and the first platform is fixedly installed on the drive end of the first linear drive mechanism. The first linear drive mechanism is used to drive the first platform and the parts to enter and exit the dust cover from the inlet and outlet.

[0010] There are N automatic deburring machines, arranged in the same way as the parts on the first platform. The processing end of the automatic deburring machine is located inside the dust cover.

[0011] The second linear drive mechanism is fixedly connected to the dust cover. The drive end of the second linear drive mechanism is equipped with the first carrier. The fixed ends of the N automatic deburring machines are all located outside the dust cover and fixedly connected to the first carrier. The second linear drive mechanism is used to drive the automatic deburring machines to rise and fall, so that all processing ends simultaneously approach or move away from the parts located directly below the automatic deburring machines. The processing ends contact the deburring part to perform deburring operations.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0013] The multi-station deburring unit also includes a pair of clamping assemblies arranged opposite to each other. Each clamping assembly includes a third linear drive mechanism mounted on the dust cover. The drive end of the third linear drive mechanism is equipped with a clamping member, which is located inside the dust cover. The clamping members of the two clamping assemblies move in opposite directions, clamping or releasing the part from the side of the part.

[0014] The bottom of the dust cover is provided with a clearance opening that passes through the bottom and the clearance opening is connected to the inlet and outlet. The first linear drive mechanism is located outside the dust cover. After the first linear drive mechanism drives the first platform to move completely into the dust cover, the bottom of the first platform blocks the clearance opening. It also includes a dust removal system that is connected to the inside of the dust cover.

[0015] It also includes an automatic feeding unit, which comprises:

[0016] First belt conveyor mechanism;

[0017] A fixed-point handling mechanism is located on one side of the first belt conveyor and is used to handle a part at the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor to a fixed-point unloading point.

[0018] A positioning mobile carrier, located on one side of the first belt conveyor mechanism, includes a fourth linear drive mechanism. The drive end of the fourth linear drive mechanism is fixedly mounted with a second platform. The second platform is provided with a second positioning structure that matches the shape of the support part, for positioning and supporting N parts. The N parts are arranged at intervals along a horizontal straight line. The arrangement direction of the parts is consistent with the drive direction of the fourth linear drive mechanism. The arrangement method and direction of the parts on the second platform are consistent with those of the parts on the first platform.

[0019] An integral handling mechanism is used to move N parts located on the second platform to the first platform as a whole.

[0020] The second platform moves intermittently so that the position where the part needs to be placed is below the fixed-point dropping point. The fixed-point transport mechanism releases the part located at the fixed-point dropping point so that the second positioning structure interacts with the part and positions and supports the part.

[0021] The automatic feeding unit also includes:

[0022] The material sorting platform is located on one side of the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor mechanism and is used for temporary storage of single parts. The upper surface of the material sorting platform is flush with the conveying surface of the first belt conveyor mechanism and both are in a horizontal state.

[0023] The material sorting mechanism includes a fifth linear drive mechanism fixed relative to the first belt conveyor mechanism. A pusher is installed at the drive end of the fifth linear drive mechanism. The pusher moves in a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor mechanism. The pusher acts on the side of the part to push the part to the material sorting platform.

[0024] The positioning and moving carrier is used to move the parts located on the material distribution platform to the fixed-point material drop point.

[0025] The support portion of the part located on the material distribution platform faces upward. The fixed-point conveying mechanism includes a base fixed relative to the material distribution platform. A first rotating mechanism is slidably mounted on the base. A sixth linear drive mechanism is mounted on the base. The first rotating mechanism is mounted on the drive end of the sixth linear drive mechanism for driving the first rotating mechanism to lift and lower.

[0026] A pair of gripper cylinders are fixedly installed at a horizontal distance at the output end of the first rotating mechanism. The gripper end of one gripper cylinder is equipped with a first gripper for gripping and releasing parts, and the gripper end of the other gripper cylinder is equipped with a second gripper for gripping and releasing parts. The first rotating mechanism drives the two gripper cylinders to rotate 180°, switching the positions of the two gripper cylinders on the same horizontal plane, so that the first gripper is above the material distribution platform while the second gripper is above the fixed-point material drop point, or the second gripper is above the material distribution platform while the first gripper is above the fixed-point material drop point.

[0027] The overall handling mechanism includes:

[0028] The seventh linear drive mechanism is fixedly disposed relative to the dust cover;

[0029] The eighth linear drive mechanism is installed at the drive end of the seventh linear drive mechanism, and the entire eighth linear drive mechanism is driven by the seventh linear drive mechanism to move in the horizontal direction.

[0030] The third carrier is fixedly installed at the drive end of the eighth linear drive mechanism and is driven by the eighth linear drive mechanism to move in the vertical direction;

[0031] Two sets of transport gripper assemblies are installed at intervals on the third carrier. The arrangement direction of the two sets of transport gripper assemblies is consistent with the overall movement direction of the eighth linear drive mechanism. The horizontal distance between the first platform and the second platform is equal to the horizontal distance between the two sets of transport gripper assemblies.

[0032] One set of transport gripper assembly is used to grip the deburred parts located on the first platform, and the other set of transport gripper assembly is used to grip the uncrushed parts located on the second platform. After the two sets of transport gripper assemblies move together, they release the parts so that the deburred parts are located at the unloading position and the uncrushed parts are located on the first platform.

[0033] It also includes an automatic feeding unit, which comprises:

[0034] The unloading platform is located at the unloading position, and the overall handling mechanism is also used to transport the parts on the first loading platform to the unloading position.

[0035] The automatic feeding unit also includes:

[0036] A retainer, fixedly mounted on the unloading platform, is used to detachably and securely connect the part to the unloading platform.

[0037] A rotating support frame is fixed relative to the dust cover. The unloading platform is rotatably mounted on the rotating support frame. When the support surface of the unloading platform faces upward, the unloading platform is in a first horizontal position, which is the unloading position.

[0038] The second rotating mechanism is connected to the unloading platform and is used to drive the unloading platform to rotate 180 degrees so that the supporting surface of the unloading platform faces downward and is located in the second horizontal position.

[0039] The second belt conveyor mechanism is located on one side of the rotating support frame;

[0040] When the unloading platform is in the second horizontal position, the part fixedly connected to the unloading platform is placed directly above the second belt conveyor mechanism. The retainer releases the part, so that after the part falls, the burr-free part contacts the conveying surface of the second belt conveyor mechanism.

[0041] The part is made of magnetic metal, and the fixture is an electromagnet.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0043] This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By setting up a first loading platform to transfer multiple parts arranged in a straight line to enter and exit the dust cover at the same time, multiple automatic deburring machines are used inside the dust cover to deburr multiple parts at the same time. This realizes batch automated deburring of columnar parts of the same specification that need to be deburred in the direction of a single end face, improves the efficiency of deburring, and at the same time ensures the quality of deburring and the consistency of deburring quality of different parts.

[0044] This utility model also has the following advantages:

[0045] (1) A belt conveyor is used to continuously transport parts. A fixed-point handling mechanism is used to handle a single part at the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor. In conjunction with the second platform that moves intermittently along the arrangement direction of the parts, multiple parts are gradually placed on the second platform. Then, the overall handling mechanism moves multiple parts as a whole to the first platform, thus realizing the automation of feeding.

[0046] (2) By driving the combination structure of two grippers that can rotate and switch horizontal positions through a linear drive mechanism, the parts on the material distribution platform are transported to the second platform while the parts are flipped, so that the parts can automatically adjust their placement posture during the automated feeding process, simplifying the structure and function of the fixed-point handling mechanism and making the equipment structure more compact.

[0047] (3) Two sets of transport gripper assemblies are set up, and a linear drive mechanism is used to control the overall movement of the two sets of transport gripper assemblies in the horizontal and vertical directions, so as to realize the synchronous loading and unloading of N parts and shorten the production cycle.

[0065] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] Example 1:

[0067] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automated deburring equipment for batch production of columnar parts in this embodiment includes a multi-station deburring unit 7, which includes a dust cover 74, a first platform 75, a first linear drive mechanism 76, an automatic deburring machine 73, and a second linear drive mechanism 71.

[0068] The dust cover 74 has an inlet / outlet 741 on its side;

[0069] The first stage 75 is used to simultaneously support N parts 6. One end of part 6 is a support part and the other end is a deburring part. The first stage 75 is provided with a first positioning structure 751 that matches the shape of the support part, which is used to arrange the deburring parts of N parts 6 upward along the horizontal straight line at intervals, where N≥2.

[0070] The first linear drive mechanism 76 is fixedly disposed relative to the dust cover 74, and the first stage 75 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the first linear drive mechanism 76. The first linear drive mechanism 76 is used to drive the first stage 75 and the part 6 to enter and exit the dust cover 74 from the inlet and outlet 741.

[0071] There are N automatic deburring machines 73, arranged in the same way as the parts 6 on the first platform 75. The processing end 731 of the automatic deburring machine 73 is located inside the dust cover 74.

[0072] The second linear drive mechanism 71 is fixedly connected to the dust cover 74. The drive end of the second linear drive mechanism 71 is equipped with the first carrier 72. The fixed ends of the N automatic deburring machines 73 are all located outside the dust cover 74 and fixedly connected to the first carrier 72. The second linear drive mechanism 71 is used to drive the automatic deburring machines 73 to rise and fall, so that all processing ends 731 simultaneously approach or move away from the part 6 located directly below the automatic deburring machine 73. The processing ends 731 contact the deburring part to perform deburring operations.

[0073] When part 6 is placed on the first stage 75, the deburred part faces upwards, meaning the first stage 75 supports part 6 horizontally, and the driving direction of the first linear drive mechanism 76 is horizontal. The first stage 75 has two maximum movement positions:

[0074] One extreme position is located inside the dust cover 74, so that N parts 6 and N automatic deburring machines 73 are aligned vertically.

[0075] Another extreme position is located outside the dust cover 74, so that the first stage 75 is completely exposed to the outside of the dust cover 74, which facilitates the placement of part 6 on the first stage 75, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0076] like Figure 1As shown, when the hollow cylindrical part 6 is tubular, the first positioning structure 751 can be multiple boss structures or short cones corresponding to the central hole of part 6, with a height less than part 6. When part 6 is placed on the first stage 75, the first positioning structure 751 plays the role of positioning and limiting part 6.

[0077] The automatic deburring machine 73 operates by using an electric brush for deburring, and the processing end 731 of the automatic deburring machine 73 is a brush. The dust cover 74 has perforations that match the external shape of the automatic deburring machine 73, allowing the automatic deburring machine 73 to be raised and lowered relative to the dust cover 74.

[0078] By setting up a first loading platform 75 for transferring multiple parts 6 arranged in a straight line to and from the dust cover 74 simultaneously, and using multiple automatic deburring machines 73 inside the dust cover 74 to simultaneously deburr multiple parts 6, batch automated deburring of columnar parts 6 of the same specification that need to be deburred in the direction of a single end face can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of deburring, while ensuring the quality of deburring and the consistency of deburring quality of different parts.

[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the multi-station deburring unit 7 also includes a pair of clamping assemblies arranged opposite each other. Each clamping assembly includes a third linear drive mechanism 77 mounted on a dust cover 74. The drive end of the third linear drive mechanism 77 is equipped with a clamping member 771, which is located inside the dust cover 74. The clamping members 771 of the two clamping assemblies move in opposite directions, clamping or releasing the part 6 from the side of the part 6.

[0080] A clamping assembly is provided in the multi-station deburring unit 7 to clamp and fix the part 6 during deburring, preventing the part 6 from tipping over and falling. Preferably, the third linear drive mechanism 77 is cylinder driven, and a second carrier 772 is installed at the drive end of the third linear drive mechanism 77. N clamping members 771 corresponding to the part 6 are installed on the second carrier 772. Preferably, the clamping members 771 and the second carrier 772 are elastically connected by springs 773 to achieve flexible clamping of the part 6.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the dust cover 74 is provided with a clearance opening 742 that extends through the bottom. The clearance opening 742 is connected to the inlet and outlet 741. The first linear drive mechanism 76 is located outside the dust cover 74. After the first linear drive mechanism 76 drives the first platform 75 to move completely into the dust cover 74, the bottom of the first platform 75 blocks the clearance opening 742. It also includes a dust removal system that is connected to the inside of the dust cover 74.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first linear drive mechanism 76 can be implemented by a screw drive, specifically a linear module. The sliding guide structure of the first linear drive mechanism 76 adopts a slide rail, which is slidably connected to the first platform 75. The slide rail is located directly below the dust cover 74 to achieve good sliding support for the first platform 75. The dust removal system may include an air gun 78 for blowing burrs on the surface of the part 6 inside the dust cover 74, and an exhaust pipe 743 located at the bottom of the dust cover 74 for discharging gas containing impurities. When the first platform 75 is located at the clearance opening 742, there may be a certain gap between it and the clearance opening 742.

[0083] In this embodiment, the operation of placing N parts 6 on the first platform 75 can be carried out manually or by automated equipment, where N is greater than or equal to two.

[0084] After the first stage 75 places the part 6 to be deburred, the first stage 75 is driven into the dust cover 74 by the first linear drive mechanism 76. Then, the second linear drive mechanism 71 drives the clamping member 771 to clamp the part 6 from both sides. Then, the automatic deburring machine 73 descends, and the processing end 731 deburrs the upward-facing deburring part. At the same time, the dust removal system works to discharge impurities from the dust cover 74. After the deburring is completed, the automatic deburring machine 73 rises, and after the clamping member 771 releases the part 6, the first linear drive mechanism 76 drives the first stage 75 to move out of the dust cover 74.

[0085] Example 2:

[0086] To improve the automation efficiency of deburring equipment, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the automated deburring equipment in this embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, further includes an automatic feeding unit. The automatic feeding unit includes a first belt conveyor mechanism 1, a fixed-point handling mechanism 4, a positioning moving carrier 5, and an overall handling mechanism 8.

[0087] The first belt conveyor mechanism 1 is fixedly installed relative to the dust cover 74;

[0088] The fixed-point handling mechanism 4 is located on one side of the first belt conveyor 1 and is used to handle a part 6 at the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1 to the fixed-point unloading point.

[0089] The positioning mobile carrier 5 is located on one side of the first belt conveyor mechanism 1. It includes a fourth linear drive mechanism 51. The drive end of the fourth linear drive mechanism 51 is fixedly mounted with a second platform 52. The second platform 52 is provided with a second positioning structure 53 that matches the shape of the support part for positioning and supporting N parts 6. The N parts 6 are arranged at intervals along a horizontal straight line. The arrangement direction of the parts 6 is consistent with the drive direction of the fourth linear drive mechanism 51. The arrangement method and direction of the parts 6 on the second platform 52 are the same as those of the parts 6 on the first platform 75.

[0090] The overall handling mechanism 8 is used to move N parts 6 located on the second platform 52 to the first platform 75 as a whole;

[0091] The second platform 52 moves intermittently so that the position where the part 6 needs to be placed is below the fixed-point dropping point. The fixed-point conveying mechanism 4 releases the part 6 located at the fixed-point dropping point so that the second positioning structure 53 interacts with the part 6 and positions and supports the part 6.

[0092] Specifically, the first belt conveyor 1 can be a belt conveyor, with a stop mechanism at the end of the conveying direction, so that multiple parts 6 are stored in a single row at the rear of the first belt conveyor 1.

[0093] Preferably, the second positioning structure 53 is conical, serving as a positioning guide during the falling of part 6. The fourth linear drive mechanism 51 can be a linear electric cylinder or a linear module driven by a lead screw, which can precisely control the stopping position of the second platform 52, ensuring that part 6 is accurately positioned on the second positioning structure 53 where part 6 is not located after falling at the designated drop point.

[0094] A belt conveyor is used to continuously transport part 6. A fixed-point handling mechanism 4 is used to handle one part 6 at the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1. In cooperation with the second loading platform 52, which moves intermittently along the arrangement direction of part 6, multiple parts 6 are gradually placed on the second loading platform 52. Then, the overall handling mechanism 8 transports multiple parts 6 as a whole to the first loading platform 75, thus realizing the automation of loading.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the automatic feeding unit also includes a material distribution platform 3 and a material distribution mechanism 2.

[0096] The material sorting platform 3 is located on one side of the end of the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 1. It is used for temporary storage of single parts 6. The upper surface of the material sorting platform 3 is flush with the conveying surface of the first belt conveyor 1 and both are in a horizontal state.

[0097] The material sorting mechanism 2 includes a fifth linear drive mechanism 22 fixed relative to the first belt conveyor mechanism 1. A pusher 21 is installed at the drive end of the fifth linear drive mechanism 22. The pusher 21 moves in a horizontal direction and is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor mechanism 1. The pusher 21 pushes the part 6 to the material sorting platform 3 by acting on the side of the part 6.

[0098] The positioning and moving carrier 5 is used to move the part 6 located on the material distribution platform 3 to the fixed drop point.

[0099] The fifth linear drive mechanism 22 can be a linear cylinder, and the pusher 21 is rod-shaped with its end matching the shape of the part 6 to provide guidance and positioning. The material distribution platform 3 is also equipped with a limiting mechanism for positioning the part 6. By setting the material distribution platform 3 and the material distribution mechanism 2 between the first belt conveyor mechanism 1 and the positioning moving carrier 5, the material picking part of the positioning moving carrier 5 is placed outside the first belt conveyor mechanism 1, reducing the equipment failure rate.

[0100] Example 3:

[0101] Based on Example 2, in this example, when the deburred part 6 arrives, the deburred portion of part 6 faces downwards. To achieve automated deburring and automatic feeding, as follows... Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the support part of the part 6 located on the material distribution platform 3 of the automated deburring equipment faces upward. The fixed-point conveying mechanism 4 includes a base 42 fixed relative to the material distribution platform 3. A first rotating mechanism 43 is slidably installed on the base 42. A sixth linear drive mechanism 41 is installed on the base 42. The first rotating mechanism 43 is installed on the drive end of the sixth linear drive mechanism 41 for driving the first rotating mechanism 43 to rise and fall.

[0102] A pair of gripper cylinders 44 are fixedly installed at a horizontal distance from the output end of the first rotating mechanism 43. The gripper end of one gripper cylinder 44 is equipped with a first gripper 45 for gripping and releasing part 6, and the gripper end of the other gripper cylinder 44 is equipped with a second gripper 46 for gripping and releasing part 6. The first rotating mechanism 43 drives the two gripper cylinders 44 to rotate 180°, switching the positions of the two gripper cylinders 44 on the same horizontal plane, so that the first gripper 45 is above the material distribution platform 3 while the second gripper 46 is above the fixed-point material drop point, or the second gripper 46 is above the material distribution platform 3 while the first gripper 45 is above the fixed-point material drop point.

[0103] The first rotating mechanism 43 can be a 180-degree rotating cylinder. The gripper cylinder 44 is a finger cylinder.

[0104] In a specific implementation process, the automatic feeding unit includes the following processes:

[0105] When the material distribution mechanism 2 moves a single part 6 onto the material distribution platform 3, the deburred part of the part 6 faces downward. At this time, the first gripper 45 is located above the material distribution platform 3, and the second gripper 46 is located above the fixed-point material drop point.

[0106] The sixth linear drive mechanism 41 drives the first rotary mechanism 43 to descend, and after the first gripper 45 grabs the part 6 on the material distribution platform 3, the sixth linear drive mechanism 41 drives the first rotary mechanism 43 to rise.

[0107] Then the first rotating mechanism 43 drives the two gripper cylinders 44 to rotate, switching their positions on the same horizontal plane. The part 6 gripped by the first gripper 45 is located above the fixed-point material drop point, and the second gripper 46 is located above the material distribution platform 3. At this time, the deburred part of the part 6 on the first gripper 45 faces upward.

[0108] When there is material on the material distribution platform 3, the sixth linear drive mechanism 41 drives the first rotating mechanism 43 to descend. At the same time, the second gripper 46 grabs the part 6 and the first gripper 45 releases the part 6 at the fixed drop point.

[0109] The positions and functions of the first gripper 45 and the second gripper 46 are switched cyclically to coordinate with the material receiving rhythm on the material distribution platform 3, so that while transporting the part 6, the deburred part of the part 6 located at the fixed drop point faces upward.

[0110] The combination structure of two grippers that can rotate and switch horizontal positions is driven by a linear drive mechanism to achieve the single-piece transfer of part 6 from the material distribution platform 3 to the second loading platform 52, while flipping part 6. This allows part 6 to automatically adjust its placement posture during the automated feeding process, simplifies the structure and function of the fixed-point handling mechanism 4, and makes the equipment structure more compact.

[0111] Example 4:

[0112] In order to simultaneously realize the automatic feeding and automatic unloading of the automated deburring equipment, based on the third embodiment, the overall handling mechanism 8 of the automated deburring equipment in this embodiment includes a seventh linear drive mechanism 82, an eighth linear drive mechanism 84, a third carrier 83, and a handling gripper assembly 81.

[0113] The seventh linear drive mechanism 82 is fixed relative to the dust cover 74;

[0114] The eighth linear drive mechanism 84 is installed at the drive end of the seventh linear drive mechanism 82, and the entire eighth linear drive mechanism 84 is driven by the seventh linear drive mechanism 82 to move in the horizontal direction.

[0115] The third vehicle 83 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the eighth linear drive mechanism 84 and is driven by the eighth linear drive mechanism 84 to move in the vertical direction.

[0116] There are two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81, which are installed at intervals on the third carrier 83. The arrangement direction of the two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81 is consistent with the overall movement direction of the eighth linear drive mechanism 84. The horizontal distance between the first platform 75 and the second platform 52 is equal to the horizontal distance between the two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81.

[0117] One set of transport gripper assembly 81 is used to grip the deburred part 6 located on the first platform 75, and the other set of transport gripper assembly 81 is used to grip the undrugged part 6 located on the second platform 52. After the two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81 move together, they release the part 6 so that the deburred part 6 is located at the unloading position, and the undrugged part 6 is located on the first platform 75.

[0118] Preferably, the planes supporting the part 6 on the first platform 75 and the second platform 52 are at the same height. The arrangement direction of the first platform 75, the second platform 52 and the unloading position is consistent with the overall movement direction of the eighth linear drive mechanism 84. The horizontal distance between the three is equal and equal to the horizontal distance between the first platform 75 and the second platform 52, which is the drive stroke of the seventh linear drive mechanism 82.

[0119] Specifically, both the seventh linear drive mechanism 82 and the eighth linear drive mechanism 84 can be linear modules.

[0120] The handling gripper assembly 81 can have N grippers driven by finger cylinders, which can grip and release part 6 by opening and closing the grippers.

[0121] Two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81 are set up, and a linear drive mechanism is used to control the overall movement of the two sets of transport gripper assemblies 81 in the horizontal and vertical directions, so as to realize the synchronous loading and unloading of N parts 6, and shorten the production cycle.

[0122] Example 5:

[0123] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the automated deburring equipment of this embodiment also includes an automatic unloading unit 9. The automatic unloading unit 9 includes an unloading platform 92 located at the unloading position. The overall conveying mechanism 8 is also used to transport the part 6 on the first loading platform 75 to the unloading position as a whole.

[0124] When the deburred part of part 6 needs to face downwards after being unloaded, the automatic unloading unit 9 also includes a fixture 922, a rotating support frame 921, a second rotating mechanism 91, and a second belt conveyor mechanism 93.

[0125] Fixture 922 is fixed on the unloading table 92 and is used to detachably and fix the part 6 to the unloading table 92.

[0126] The rotating support frame 921 is fixed relative to the dust cover 74. The unloading platform 92 is rotatably mounted on the rotating support frame 921. When the support surface of the unloading platform 92 faces upward, the unloading platform 92 is in the first horizontal position, which is the unloading position.

[0127] The second rotating mechanism 91 is connected to the unloading platform 92 for driving the unloading platform 92 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the supporting surface of the unloading platform 92 faces downward and is located in the second horizontal position.

[0128] The second belt conveyor mechanism 93 is located on one side of the rotating support frame 921;

[0129] When the unloading platform 92 is in the second horizontal position, the part 6, which is fixedly connected to the unloading platform 92, is placed directly above the second belt conveyor 93. The retainer 922 releases the part 6, so that the burr part of the part 6 comes into contact with the conveying surface of the second belt conveyor 93 after it falls.

[0130] When part 6 is reversed along with the unloading table 92 under the drive of the second rotating mechanism 91, part 6 and the unloading table 92 are located on the same side of the rotation axis, and the swing trajectory is located above the rotation axis. The second rotating mechanism 91 can be a rotary cylinder, and the second belt conveyor mechanism 93 can be a belt conveyor.

[0131] Specifically, part 6 is made of magnetic metal, and the fixture 922 is an electromagnet. When the electromagnet is energized, it fixes part 6 on the unloading table 92. When the electromagnet is de-energized, it disconnects part 6 from the unloading table 92.

[0132] In order not to increase the structural complexity of the first stage 75 and the second stage 52, the relationship between the axial and radial dimensions and shape of the columnar part 6 is such that the part 6 can be stably placed on a horizontal plane when both the deburred part and the support part are facing downwards.

[0133] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
